You are right, according to our Constitution, it should be a state decision. Are you going to apply the same illogic to the Right to Keep and Bear Arms? Free speech? Due process? Trial by jury? SLAVERY? The right to peaceably assemble?

And from a practical standpoint, how are those arguments going with a centralized government in DC?

Free speech?
Judicial incorporation.
Due process?
Varies by state.
Trial by jury?
Varies by state. Different size juries, different offenses subject to petit jury trials, different grand jury requirements for trying a suspect, etc.
SLAVERY?
13th Amendment.
The right to peaceably assemble?
Judicial incorporation, with some residual state variations.
